Ingredients are subject to availability at local stores. Unavailable items will be automatically substituted at best-effort.

Directions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, lemon zest, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Add blended cottage cheese, egg, and maple syrup. Mix until a dough forms. If the batter is too wet, add 1-2 tablespoons more almond flour.
  3. Gently fold in frozen wild blueberries.
  4. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls.
  5. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray the basket with non-stick cooking spray.
  6. Place the dough balls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, not overcrowding. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, until golden brown.
  7. Remove from the air fryer and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Make the icing: In a small bowl, whisk together Swerve confectioners sugar, vanilla extract, and A2 grass-fed milk until smooth.
  9. Dip each cooled donut hole into the icing. Let set for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
